Potato movement explained
The Potato Movement (Greek, Modern (1453-);: Κίνημα της Πατάτας) is a grassroots socio-agriculture movement in Greece. The movement consists of Greek farmers setting up co-ops and selling potatoes directly to the Greek public in response to cheap potato imports from Egypt and other countries.[1] [2] [3] [4]
